More than 14,000 health care providers-physicians, hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacists and others-participate in the Medicaid program in Alabama. For several years, payments have been made only once a month to those delivering services to Medicaid eligibles.

"We know providers will be pleased with this change, "said Mike Horsley, Medicaid commissioner. "They will be paid more quickly for services they deliver to Medicaid recipients." In any one month, about 300.000 low income people qualify for services through the Medicaid program in Alabama. This year, the agency expects to spend almost 430 million dollars in federal and state funds for health care services. With the change to the twice-a-month schedule, providers submitting "clean with no mistakes, for example-can expect to be paid within 30 days of receipt of the claim. In the great majority of cases, claims will be paid in considerably less than 30 days.

The change in the payments schedlue will assist the Medicaid agency in adhering to federal requirements for timeliness in payment of claims. Payments to Medicaid providers are processed and mailed by EDS Federal, a firm doing business as Alacaid in Alabama, according to rules established by the Medicaid agency.
